Subject: ppp: fix lockdep splat in ppp_dev_uninit()

From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@alphalink.fr>

[ Upstream commit 58a89ecaca53736aa465170530acea4f8be34ab4 ]

ppp_dev_uninit() locks all_ppp_mutex while under rtnl mutex protection.
ppp_create_interface() must then lock these mutexes in that same order
to avoid possible deadlock.
